Snowy 2015

Snow has come to the Midwest and Northeast US with a vengeance.  Suburban Chicago totals have come in at 14-16 inches from this past weekend with 19 inches officially recorded at O'Hare.  The Boston area was hit with record-breaking 22 and 16 inches over the week. 

Please remember to allow plenty of time to brush off snow from your car or truck, including the roof, hood, all windows, wipers, windshield washer jets, and lights.  Allow plenty of stopping room between cars on snow and stop well before icy (or wet patches which wind up being ice) patches.  It would be great if trucks (and SUV's) could have  the snow removed from their tops before it turns into ice plates which land onto cars driving behind them.

The weather has been quite nice in the central Pennsylvania area of Harrisburg/Mechanicsburg.  We did not get hit with as much snow as forecast.  For this former Chicago-area native, the weather isn't even that cold!
